Equipment Description

1. General

The direct steam heated kettles covered in

this manual are one-piece, welded

constructions of 18.8 type 304 stainless steel,

which are listed by the National Sanitation

Foundation. They have bar rims with a

continuous seal weld on the underside. The

kettles are ASME shop inspected, and

registered with the national board for

operation at pressures up to 25 PSI. They are

finished to 180 emery grit interior, and a bright

semi-deluxe exterior. The table on Page 6

shows standard kettle sizes manufactured for

each model since June, 1986.

Steam from a remote source passes directly

into the jacket. Steam pressure forces

condensate out through the condensate

outlet. The units operate safely and efficiently

at steam pressures from five to 25 PSI. A

safety valve works to release any pressure

above the 25 PSI limit. If required, higher

jacket pressure (PSI) kettles can be provided.

A globe valve is required on the steam inlet,

and a strainer, steam trap and check valve

are needed on the condensate outlet. Each of

these may be ordered as an option (but are

standard on wall-mounted units).

The kettles are emptied by tangent draw-offs.

The standard draw-off on current models is a

compression disk type, fabricated from 316

stainless steel with a 2 inch outer diameter

(O.D.). The draw-off has a removable

stainless steel strainer which has ¼ inch

perforations. Options for the draw-off include

a three-inch O.D., a strainer with c inch

perforations, and a solid disk strainer.

2. Models FT, MW/FT and PT are deep kettles

with b jackets. On units with capacities of 40

gallons or less, a one-piece hinged stainless

steel dome cover is furnished. On larger units

the cover is counter-balanced with a Model 51

spring-assisted actuator.

3. Models GT, MW/GT and GPT are fully

jacketed. All sizes are equipped with domed

covers which have counter-balanced

actuators.

OM-FT

MW/GT (Wall Mounted)

Model GT

Model GPT

MW/FT (Wall Mounted)

4. Models FT and GT stand on stainless steel,

tubular legs, that are continuously welded to

the kettle. The legs are fitted with adjustable

stainless steel floor flanges.

5. Models MW/FT and MW/GT are supported

by a structural steel framework which is

suitable for wall mounting. This framework

hangs on an in-wall carrier which may be

purchased as an option. The frame is

enclosed in a drip-proof, stainless steel

housing. As assembled at the factory, the

support structure includes steam inlet and

condensate outlet piping and valves, a

condensate strainer, trap, and a check

valve. Optional piping and valves are

available for jacket cooling water. Control

valve stems protrude through the front of the

support housing. The top and sides of the

housing may be removed to provide access

for service.

6. Models PT and GPT stand on a stainless

steel pedestal base. The outer surface of

the base is flanged down vertically to permit

proper sealing to the floor or deck. These

units are provided with a standard faucet

bracket.

7. Optional Equipment may include:

a. Plug-type drawoff valves

b. Model FD close-coupled sanitary drain

valves

c. TRI-BC cooking basket system

d. Fill faucet with swing spout

e. Gallon Master water meter

f. Kettle brush kit

g. Cover with No. 51 actuator (40-gallon

kettle)

h. Steam trap assembly

OM-FT

For proper sanitation, a continuous seal

is required between pedestals or flanges

and the mounting surface.

Installation

WARNING

THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH PLUMBING.

IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO

EQUIPMENT.

A. All Models

1. Installation under a ventilation hood is

recommended.

2. If the steam supply pressure is greater than

the maximum working pressure stamped on

the nameplate, you must install a pressure

reducing valve in the steam supply line near

the kettle.

3. Connect the steam supply line to the steam

inlet fitting. To obtain the full heating

capability of the kettle, the steam supply line

must be as large as the steam inlet fitting.

4. The safety valve is preset to relieve jacket

pressure that exceeds its rated limit. Do not

try to adjust the valve setting, and do not

allow the valve outlet or lever to be blocked.

5. Connect the kettle condensate return line to

the boiler return line, or to a drain. A

suitable steam trap, strainer, and check

valve must be installed. (See piping

diagram, Page 14-15).

6. Any mechanical change must be approved

by the Groen Food Service Engineering

Department.

B. Floor-Mounted Models

1. Install the unit on a level surface. Ensure

that there is adequate clearance at the sides

and rear, as required by the specification

drawings. Anchor the pedestal or legs

securely to the floor.

2. Apply a continuous bead of clear silicone

sealant (No. 732 or equivalent) to the

junction between the pedestal or leg flange

and the surface, as shown. Fill all cracks

and crevices, and wipe excess away.

C. Wall-Mounted Models

1. Install a “chair carrier” in the wall to which

the unit will be attached, following the

instructions pertaining to anchoring and

location.

2. Stub in the steam supply line and

condensate return line so that they will be

aligned with the appropriate fittings when the

unit is mounted.

OM-FT

Test the safety valve each day

3. Mount the unit on the protruding studs of the

chair carrier.

4. Apply a continuous bead of clear silicone

sealant (No. 732 or equivalent) to the

junction between the frame housing and the

wall. Fill all cracks and crevices, and wipe

away the excess.

Initial Start-Up

IMPORTANT

BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS, AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.

Now that the kettle has been installed, you

should test it to ensure that it is operating

correctly.

1. Remove all literature and packing

materials from inside and outside of the

unit.

2. Pour a small amount of water into the

kettle.

3. Open the steam inlet valve.

4. When the water begins to boil, inspect

all of the fittings to ensure that there are

no leaks.

5. Check the safety valve by pulling out on

its chain, (or lifting its lever on older

models) far enough to let steam escape.

Then let it snap back into place to reseat

the valve so that it will not leak.

WARNING

AVOID EXPOSURE TO ESCAPING STEAM,

WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.

6. Shut down the unit by closing the steam inlet

valve.

7. Operate the drawoff valve to ensure that it

functions across the normal range of

operation.

If the unit functions as described above, it is

ready for use. If the unit does not function as

intended, contact your local Groen Certified

Service Agency.

OM-FT

Operation

To heat the kettle, open the condensate return

valve and the steam inlet valve. Adjusting the

inlet valve allows the operator to control the

heating rate. Opening the valve more allows

steam to flow into the jacket faster, and thereby

heats the product faster.

The kettle operates efficiently with steam

pressures from five PSI to the maximum working

pressure for which the kettle was designed. The

maximum allowable pressure (normally 25 PSI

for standard units) is stamped on the kettle

nameplate.

WARNING

AVOID EXPOSURE TO ESCAPING STEAM,

WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.

Once a day, while there is still steam pressure in

the jacket, bleed off any entrapped air and

double check the operation of the safety valve.

Pull out on its chain, (or lift the lever on older

models) far enough to let steam escape. Then

let it snap back into place to reseat the valve so

that it will not leak.

WARNING

AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT

FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE.

DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN

SEVERE BURNS.

TAKE SPECIAL CARE TO AVOID

CONTACT WITH HOT KETTLE BODY OR

HOT PRODUCT, WHEN ADDING

INGREDIENTS, STIRRING OR

TRANSFERRING PRODUCT TO ANOTHER

CONTAINER.

CAUTION

DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN

COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING. KEEP

LIQUIDS AT LEAST 2-3” (5-8 cm) BELOW

THE KETTLE BODY RIM TO ALLOW

CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING

PRODUCT AND SAFE TRANSFER.

Sequence of Operation

The following “action-reaction” outline is provided

to help you understand how the equipment

functions.

When the steam inlet valve is opened, steam

flows into the jacket at a pressure determined by

the boiler system, or by the pressure reducing

valve which serves the kettle. In the jacket

steam releases its heat to the kettle as it

condenses into water. The steam trap allows

condensate (water) to leave the kettle while

holding the steam in.

When the steam supply is shut off, condensation

of the remaining steam produces a vacuum in

the jacket, but the check valve in the condensate

return line keeps water from flowing back into

the jacket.

OM-FT

Use brushes, sponges or cloth to clean your

kettles

Cleaning

1. Suggested Tools:

a. Cleaner, such as Klenzade HC-10 or

HC-32 from ECOLAB, Inc.

b. Long- and short-handled kettle brushes

in good condition.

c. Brush suitable for cleaning the draw-off

port.

d. Sanitizer such as Klenzade XY-12.

c. Film remover such as Klenzade LC-30.

CAUTION

MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE

SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES, AND

CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE

TAKEN. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES,

GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD, AND

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. READ THE

WARNINGS AND FOLLOW THE

DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE

CLEANER CAREFULLY.

2. Procedure

a. Clean food-contact surfaces as soon as

possible after use, preferably while the

kettle is still hot. If the unit is in

continuous use, thoroughly clean and

sanitize the interior and exterior at least

once every 12 hours.

WARNING

AVOID ANY DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT

SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT

COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.

b. Scrape and flush out food residues with

lukewarm water. After flushing the kettle,

close the draw-off valve.

c. Prepare a hot solution of the detergent/

cleaning compound as instructed by the

supplier. Set some of this solution

aside to use in cleaning the draw-off

valve and pipe.

d. Clean the unit thoroughly, inside and

outside.

e. Drain the kettle.

f. Disassemble the tangent draw-off valve.

Clean the draw-off pipe and each valve

part with a brush.

CAUTION

DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT KETTLE DRAW-

OFF ASSEMBLY PARTS WHEN WASHING.

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

g. Rinse the kettle and draw-off parts

thoroughly with warm water, then drain

completely.

h. As part of the daily cleaning, clean all

external and internal surfaces that may

have been soiled. Remember to check

such areas as the underside of the

cover.

i. To remove burned-on materials, use a

brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber

scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning

solution. To reduce effort required in

washing, let the detergent solution sit in

the kettle and soak into the residue. Do

not use abrasive materials or metal

tools that might scratch the surface.

Scratches make the surface harder to

clean and provide places for bacteria to

grow.

j. Do not use steel wool, which may

leave particles in the surface and cause

eventual corrosion and pitting.

OM-FT

Don’t scrape with tools, steel wool or other

abrasives.

Check safety valve once each day.

k. The outside of the unit may be polished

with a stainless steel cleaner such as

“Zepper” from Zep Manufacturing Co.

l. When equipment needs to be sanitized,

use a solution equivalent to one that

supplies 200 parts per million available

chlorine. Obtain advice on sanitizing

agents from your supplier of sanitizing

products. Following the supplier’s

instructions, apply the agent after the

unit has been cleaned and drained.

Drain and thoroughly rinse off the

sanitizer.

NOTICE

NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN

CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL

SURFACES LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES.

LONGER CONTACT CAN CAUSE STAINING

AND CORROSION.

m. It is recommended that each piece of

equipment be sanitized just before use.

n. If there is difficulty removing mineral

deposits or a film left by hard water or

food residues, clean the kettle

thoroughly and use a deliming agent,

like Groen Delimer/Descaler (Part

Number 114800) or Lime-Away® from

Ecolab, in accordance with the

manufacturer’s directions. Rinse and

drain the unit thoroughly before further

use.

o. If cleaning problems persist, contact

your cleaning product representative for

assistance. The supplier has a trained

technical staff with laboratory facilities to

serve you.

Maintenance

NOTICE: Contact Groen or an authorized Groen representative when repairs are required.

Periodic Maintenance

A Maintenance & Service Log is provided at the

back of this manual with the warranty

information. Each time maintenance is

performed on your Groen kettle, enter the date

on which the work was done, what was done,

and who did it. Keep this manual on file and

available for operators to use.

Periodic inspection will minimize equipment

down time and increase the efficiency of

operation. The following points should be

checked:

1. Once a day, with pressure in the jacket,

check the operation of the pressure

relief safety valve. Lift

the lever of the safety

valve until steam is

released.

WARNING

WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE

TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE

SAFETY VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT

COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
